Planet Surfing Continued

(3)

God surfed. As He went on and on for billions of years he noticed that life in the universe was becoming more and more interesting. He consulted Lucifer again at the 6 billion year point.

god: Things are looking up. Life is getting more complex.
lucifer: Right on schedule.
god: When will I see Pleasantville?
lucifer: I can only guess.
god: Then guess, dammit!
Lucifer: I guess about another seven point seven.
god: Million?
lucifer: Billion.
god: Months?
lucifer: Years.
